Corospondent - January 2023
Can we turn the tide?
The summer edition of Corospondent draws on the hope that accompanies the Chinese Year of the Water Rabbit, but only if we see some policy action. We offer in-depth views on the local and global economies, and what is likely to be in store for South African’s this year. We also examine attractive opportunities offered by SA Inc. and we travel to the Middle East to look at emerging market newbie, Saudi Arabia.
